Roman Numeral HTTP Status Codes

Why should the Romans not enjoy the web, just because they are all dead?

This project includes a simple webserver, fork from nolibc-httpd with the status code replaced with the corresponding roman numeral.

To make sure we still adhere to the HTTP spec, we use the 0r prefix for the status code. Thanks @ylebre for this suggestion!

Install

Clone the repo and build the server:

git clone https://github.com/potherca-blog/roman-numeral-http-status-codes.git
cd roman-numeral-http-status-codes && ./build.sh

Usage

Start the server:

./httpd index.html

Visit the page: http://localhost:MMXXII and, as you can see, the response is "OK".

Sadly the browser does not show Roman Numerals, but the status is there!

Use curl to see it:

$ curl --include http://localhost:MMXXII
HTTP/1.1 0rCC OK

<!doctype>
<title>hello world!</title>
<h1>hello world!</h1>

To see a "Not Found" response, start the server with a non-existent file:

./httpd whatever.html

curl --include http://localhost:MMXXII 
HTTP/1.1 0rCDIV Not Found
